Jay 5

Couldn't cope with the speed of their passing or movement for much of the first half.
We threatened more in the second. Played some decent football.
But there was a big gap in the overall quality.

[AlargeClaret]

Pope 7 some good sweeper work
Lowton 4 ruddy awful
Tarkowski 6 not his best and distribution is gash
Mee 6 steady
Taylor 7 good outlet and sweet outside of boot cross
Brownhill 6 energetic bit careless
Cork 5 overrun
Westwood 5 as per cork
McNeil 4 not really involved
Wood 7 + 1 for goal
Vydra 6 ran hard one nice effort

Jay 5 tricky miss but gives us options

[ClaretTony]

Not just the team quality, but the mentality. West Ham have a huge prize to play for. As good as we were, Wolves wanted no part of the game at all. They simply didn't match our fight, West Ham did with quality to make it pay.

West Ham surprised me tonight - they were a lot better than I thought they were to be honest, one of the best teams who have played on the Turf this season.

Dyche 1 we needed the manager more than ever tonight and he might as well not have been there. Over run, we needed a formation change and his battlers on. Bardsley and Barnes should have been early. Instead the 60 minute sub alarm went off and he brings on the out of form striker.

How can that be the same team from last week?

Wolves couldn't be bothered, West Ham were superb

No cracks and not ever widening although, of course, you enjoy nothing better than being critical and having a go at the club and the team.

West Ham were excellent I thought tonight and made it very difficult for us, Wolves weren't good last week and we made it very difficult for them.

I think it’s pretty fair to say there a cracks and they are ever widening.
If we don’t heavily recruit this summer we are nailed on for relegation next season. Dyche can’t keep producing miracles, no other manager would keep this squad up.

[burnley007]

I wasn't at the game, only saw it on TV...

Pope 7 did ok
Lowton 5 good and bad
Tarkowski 7 would look better with more protection
Mee 6 looks fragile more and more often
Taylor 6 can do better
Brownhill 5 NOT A BLOODY WINGER SEAN!
Westwood 5 Meh
Cork 5 meh
McNeil 4 did he actually fall asleep?
Wood 7 good 1st half
Vydra 6 tries to make things happen

Rodriguez 4 he looks finished at this level

Totally outplayed by a slick Hammers, our home form has been abysmal, but they were the best we’ve played at TM this season. Let’s finish this season on Monday then we can all relax.

If every season you keep saying we will be nailed on for relegation, one day you will be right. Just think how good you will feel being right for once.

On the plus side next season will cost you exactly the same as it has done this season, strange how you weren't all over the Wolves match thread and player ratings yet come a defeat back to form. It is almost like you have an agenda, but loving the club as much as you do I am sure you just want the best.

Pope 7 couple of good saves.
Lowton 6 sloppy at times but alright.
Tarks 6
Mee 6
Taylor 6 wasn’t helped by McNeil going forward but some promising moments.
Brownhill 6 he gives his all but he’s a cm really. Good effort on the volley.
Westwood 6
Cork 6
McNeil 5 off day. He was being doubled up on and it showed when dyche took him off.
Vydra 6 quiet but always dangerous.
Wood 8 a man in great form. Every touch is good and hold up play excellent. Even dribbles past men now! Great work for the goal when he made diop look very silly and slotted away a good penalty.

Jay 5 why does he miss the easy ones and score the tough ones...

We were swatted aside by a team with too much pace, physicality and technical ability. Until we get more athleticism into the midfield and defence, this will continue to be a problem


Pope 6

Tarkowski 5
Mee 5
Taylor 5
Brownhill 6 - pick of the midfield
Cork 5

Wood 7*
Vydra 5 - just not in it

Rodriguez 5- what has happened to poor Jay? The disappointment of the season for me player wise. Had not expected that level of decline.

Many posters said we were nailed on for relegation this season, but that’s not looking likely.
